During SIGGRAPH 2019, Autodesk released new subscription offers with 3ds Max Indie and Maya Indie in selected countries. Similar to other providers, this is a step intended to make the tools more attractive for artists with annual revenue below 100,000 US dollars. Unlike the LT variants, the Indie license also comes with all features. What does the offer look like for Germany?
Autodesk Indie price and availability
Pretty bad: Unfortunately, the license offers are so far available only to users in the US, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and Australia—at a cost of about 250 USD per year. Since it is also a “pilot program,” it is not yet clear whether Autodesk will continue the offer or bring it to Europe. According to Chip Weatherman, this depends on demand. As with all Autodesk products, subscriptions renew automatically. If Autodesk does not extend the Indie program, after the end of the year the full price of 3ds Max and Maya of 1,545 USD per year will be charged. The company therefore recommends on the website that auto-renewal be deactivated directly after purchase.
The pages are not officially available from Germany—for anyone interested, here are the links to Autodesk Area nevertheless:

Hi!
Das ist eine Verdammt gute Frage – keine Ahnung – aber ich würde da einfach schnell bei Area.autodesk.com in das Forum gucken – Adsk selbst beobachtet das, und kann dir da sicher Info geben.
Danke für den Beitrag!
